How quantum teleportation could help ensure online privacy
Physicists set a new quantum record this week, teleporting photons across several miles of fiber optic network. Two research groups, which each published findings in the journal Nature Photonics, used existing communications infrastructure to share quantum information – with no physical stops in between. The technology couldn’t possibly transport people, but it could influence the future of the internet.
“Such a network will enable secure communication without having to worry about eavesdropping, and allow distant quantum computers to connect,” Wolfgang Tittel, a quantum physicist who led the University of Calgary study, said in a press release.
